     After flying for hours in the jet, we landed in Washington where we were dropped off in the middle of a field. Our clothes were packed in suitcases as they had a van waiting for us to drive back home to their mansion. It was a long drive but when we reached the house, it brought back memories of when Donovan helped me undress from my scar that ran down my neck now. I had already accepted that it was never going to disappear on its own.

      Donovan and I went into the third house that was connected to the main building led by a long corridor hallway. Their was three sections of the house and I'm pretty sure the walls were thick. Vincent had the first part of the mansion while Pierce had the second, making Donovan own the last of it.

      I fell asleep right on the king sized bed as I collapsed against it. It wasn't until I woke up at eight p.m that I decided to take a long hot shower. As I stared at my reflection in the mirror, parts of my body was covered in bruises. Some from the aggressive hands and others from me trying to escape. My lips were slightly bruised and my eyes started to tear up as a small sob escaped my shaking lips.

    "Em?" I heard a knock. From the sound of his voice, I wiped my eyes and slipped on my silky black robe that reached mid-thigh before tying it around my waist and opening the door. He didn't even look at my face before he pulled me in as he embraced me in his arms. My arms found their place around his larger body and I kissed his chest before sobbing against him. We didn't speak for a moment. We didn't have to.

      We climbed into the bed as he turned the lights off, opening the long curtains for the moonlight to shine throughout the room. I  unhooked my bra and let it fall to the ground before pulling on a grey camisole and snuggling against his chest. He was in his boxers, shirtless and very desirable looking right now.

      "I'm just going to hold you for tonight. Is that alright with you?" He whispered into the dark. I nodded.

     "You're hurt too. It'll be more difficult to do what we want without hurting you," I said in a hoarse tone but with a playful tone to my voice. His chest rumbled as he chuckled just as his arms wrapped more tightly around me. My ear rested on his chest and I closed my eyes to the steady beat of his heart.

    "Emery?" He said my name. I looked up to him to see the shadow of his face from the moonlight. God, he was so beautiful.

      "Hm?"

     "You're my best friend." I couldn't help it. I laughed as my hand rested on top of his chest.

     "Why are you laughing?" He questioned.

      "You're so adorable. Okay, go to sleep now," I said as I closed my eyes and nestled myself against him. The warmth of his skin sent a giddy feeling inside of me.

     "Adorable? Hm," he muttered. I laughed again and soon after, we fell asleep in each other's arms.

Again.

      I strolled the cart through the aisle as I picked up some fruits, vegetables, meats and other foods like junk food. The list went beyond as they had written what they wanted and when I got to the checkout, it ended up being $500.23. Donovan had some of their money transferred into my bank account and when he said some, he meant twenty grand. I refused and complained for days but eventually, I got over it and chose to accept it instead. I was the one who was going to have to get groceries anyway. Well, at least until the three of them weren't wanted criminals anymore.

     After they helped me unpacked the groceries, something on tv caught our attention. Marco's body was found a few days ago and investigations are being made now and of course the murder would all lead back to the Saint brothers. I assumed that Marco covered his dirty doings behind but how were they going to prove that they're innocent?

   

     "Are you going to eat that?" Pierced asked after he grabbed my slice of pizza. I growled at him as I crumbled a napkin and threw it in his face. All that did for him was make him laugh. Donovan and I sat next to each other as we watched a football game playing. I had cooked three large pizzas in their oven outside that was handmade by them using bricks. It was basically an old Italian style oven.

    "I went to the club last night." Everyone stopped eating and glared at Pierce as he continued eating.

     "Don't worry, no one saw me. Our workers trust us anyways. They won't believe that shit on the tv if they've known us longer," he said.

    "The club's alright but what if there were cops their?" Vincent asked in an accusing voice almost. Pierce slumped down on the couch and rolled his eyes.

     "There weren't."

      "You don't know that."

     "Christ Vincent! Do you think I want to spend my life hiding? I don't. I met some old friends and I had fun. What bad did that do?" I sat up as I held a hand out to Pierce who had gotten up angrily.

     "Calm down, Pierce," I said in a hushed voice. His eyes turn to me and he mouthed the words, sorry. Pierced bent forward and kissed my forehead before heading to his bedroom. We all sat in silence as the tv blasted noise.

       "How are we going to prove your innocence?" I asked in a quiet voice. Vincent got up and sighed before he also walked over and kissed the top of my head.

    "Maybe we'll never. Good night, Emery. Donovan." And he left too, leaving Donovan and I sitting here by ourselves. My hand rested on top of his and as I glanced over to him, he had his eyes closed. He looked peaceful yet.. sad. After a second, he opened his eyes, turned to me and smiled sadly before grabbing my hand and bringing me up with him.

"Let's go to bed," he said. I nodded.

    "I thought you wanted to go to sleep?" I asked him as he suddenly tugged my shirt over my head. He smiled down at me with the muscles in his body flexing.

   "No, I said to bed. I didn't mean sleep. Are you tired?" He asked me.

    "I am." He stopped. With a smile, he pressed a kiss on my lips before he was about to lay down but I caught his arm and pressed my body against him after throwing myself on him.

    "Hm. I didn't say I wanted to sleep though. Energize me," I chuckled. He laughed before hooking an arm over my waist and placing my body under his.

     Then the next minute we were skin to skin with nothing but the sheets underneath us. His kiss was gentle yet there was this eagerness to it like he was never wanting to let go of what we had right here. I arched my back when his hands teased my inner thigh before he pressed a hungry kiss on my neck, sucking on it to make sure I would have a love bite the next morning for sure. He had entered me with ease as his hands never roamed far from my body. I closed my eyes as the pleasure consumed us both but I opened them just as quick with his next words.

    "Marry me."
